Handmade Wood-Fired "Rare Hutu" Engraved Teacup

Material & Craftsmanship

Hand-thrown from mineral-rich clay and high-fired at 1300°C in traditional wood kiln, measuring approximately 5cm (H) × 6cm (Ø). Natural ash deposition creates unique glaze variations—gray-green, reddish-brown, and silver-gray hues with irregular flame marks, metallic speckles, and golden flow patterns. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, embodying the wild beauty of wood-firing artistry.

Shape Design

Rounded bowl shape with slightly flared rim for ergonomic holding. Features classic seal-script engraving "Rare Hutu" (wisdom in simplicity) on one side, with bold strokes contrasting the natural glaze texture. The base bears a square seal engraving "金永才" (artisan signature), ensuring handmade authenticity.

Symbolic Meaning

"Rare Hutu" is an Eastern philosophical maxim advocating wisdom in simplicity and returning to authenticity; the wood-fired patterns symbolize natural impermanence. Ideal for gifting to tea meditators, philosophy enthusiasts, or international friends seeking lifestyle aesthetics.

User Experience

The porous clay enhances tea aroma and develops an amber patina through gradual tea nurturing. Ergonomic size offers a rugged yet refined feel, adding contemplative depth to tea sessions.

Scene & Value

Perfect for tea ceremonies, Zen spaces, study rooms, or cross-cultural exchanges. Both a functional brewing tool and a collector-grade art piece embodying Eastern aesthetics, with practical and investment value.
